Georgia Mother on Trial for Alleged Murder of Toddler Son
Leilani Simon is accused of killing her 20-month-old son and discarding his body in a dumpster, with the trial revealing inconsistencies in her statements.
- Leilani Simon, charged with 19 counts including malice murder and concealing a death, has pleaded not guilty in the trial for the death of her son Quinton Simon.
- Prosecutors allege that Simon killed her son on October 5, 2022, and disposed of his body in a dumpster, later claiming it was spoiled food.
- Police and the FBI discovered Quinton's remains in a landfill after a month-long search, confirming his identity through DNA testing.
- The prosecution highlighted Simon's drug use and personal turmoil, suggesting these factors contributed to the alleged crime.
- The defense argues that the case is based on speculation, lacking concrete evidence to prove Simon's guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
